In this book you will not find rocket science or complex domestic engineering theory, well, perhaps a little, but mostly you will find good, common sense ideas to put into practice when having guests in your home for extended periods of time and when being a guest yourself. THE ART OF THE VISIT is about enjoying and ensuring harmony between family & friends during the extended visit. It is not a book on how to properly set a dinning table for eight or which fork to use. Rather, it establishes the ground rules for successfully spending time with those people who are most dear to us: our family and friends. From hosting family for a week, to being a guest at a friend’s vacation home for a weekend, this practical book offers tips and strategies for making those sometimes strained times together run more smoothly and be more satisfying for everyone. It delivers ideas and tips in an amusing and forthright fashion. Find it at Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com. To learn more about Kathy and the book, visit her website: kathybertone.com
